InfoMajor General Robert E. Livingston, Jr. is a conservative Republican candidate for the office of South Carolina Adjutant General. As a combat veteran who has led a force of over 9,000 in Afghanistan, General Livingston is uniquely qualified to be South Carolinas next Adjutant General. While the South Carolina National Guard still performs its traditional role as the Governors emergency forces in the event of disaster, riot or insurrection; since the terrorist attacks of September 11th the Guard has been increasingly asked to serve as a combat force in the War on Terror. General Livingston is running for Adjutant General because the brave men and women of the South Carolina National Guard deserve a leader that not only understands the needs of a combat force but also has the energy and knowledge to fulfill those needs.

General Livingston's military service began when he enlisted in the South Carolina Army National Guard in 1978. He was commissioned through the Palmetto Military Academy, Officer Candidate School in 1980 as the Top Honor Graduate. His military education began with his completion of the United States Army Infantry School in 1978 and Airborne School in 1979. During the course of more than 3 decades of service General Livingston has been continually recognized by both his superiors as well as the troops he has led as an exemplary officer, becoming the youngest Major General in the history of the South Carolina Army National Guard. He is highly decorated including awards from the US Military, several foreign countries and civilian agencies.

In April of 2007 General Livingston deployed to Kabul, Afghanistan where he served as the Commander of Combined Joint Task Force Phoenix. In his role as Commander of this force General Livingston was responsible for troops from every branch of the United States Armed Forces as well as troops from 18 other coalition nations. Upon returning from Afghanistan, General Livingston was assigned as the Strategic Plans Officer for the Chief of the National Guard Bureau.

Shortly after his assignment to the National Guard Bureau, General Livingston was asked to serve on General Petraeus staff as the Director of the Coalition Coordination Center. In this role General Livingston was responsible for coordinating with senior military officials from 60 critical coalition nations, making sure they received the resources necessary to execute the War on Terror. General Livingston was asked to serve in this capacity because of his reputation as a man who knows how to prepare a combat force for battle.

In addition to his military accomplishments General Livingston has had a successful career in the private sector as an electrical engineer. He is the President and CEO of Gregory Electric, a multi-state business that employs 360 South Carolinians. General Livingston holds a Bachelor degree in Chemistry and Science from Hampden Sydney College, Bachelor and Master degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Master of Business Administration from the University of South Carolina as well as Master of Strategic Studies from the United States War College.

General Livingston is a life-long resident of West Columbia, South Carolina where he attends Mount Tabor Lutheran Church. He has been married to his wife, Barbara, for 33 years. They have four grown children Robert III, Rachel, Rebekah, and Roxanne.
